+Ahoj Emberistas! 🐹
+
+In this week's edition we're sharing news about a fresh 🥒  RFC to deprecate `.property()`, exciting addon updates 🚀 for sparkles-component and ember-css-modules, and how Ember is a modern framework 🎉 - tell your friends! 
+
+---
+
+## [Deprecate All the Property 🏠 Modifiers ](https://github.com/emberjs/rfcs/pull/375)
+
+Remember `.property()`?
+
+```js
+fullName: computed(function() {
+  // ...
+}).property('firstName', 'lastName'),
+```
+
+This **modifier** for **computed properties** in Ember has been around for quite a while.
+And even though computed properties have already allowed to pass in dependent keys as an argument directly, e.g....
+
+```js
+fullName: computed('firstName', 'lastName', function() {
+  // ...
+}),
+```
+
+...the modifier hasn't been deprecated yet. The main obstacle for the deprecation has been
+the one valid use of `.property()`: It is required for cp macros, such as `filter` or `map` which receive a callback function as their argument.
+
+A **brand-new 🔥 Request for Comments (RFC)** 🚒 proposes to transition away from the usage of `.property` for these macros to allow the deprecation of the otherwise redundant API. Curious readers can **learn more** about the motivation and the design of this move [in the original proposal](https://github.com/pzuraq/emberjs-rfcs/blob/deprecate-computed-property-modifier/text/0000-deprecate-computed-property-modifier.md).

+## [Published sparkles-component 1.1.0 ✨](https://twitter.com/rwjblue/status/1042162296854925314)
+
+[@rwjblue](https://github.com/rwjblue) released version 1.1.0 of the [sparkles-component](https://github.com/rwjblue/sparkles-component) which includes [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/) conversion of the library.
+
+<!--alex ignore hooks destroy-->
+The sparkles-component is an addon used to experiment with [glimmer component](https://github.com/glimmerjs/glimmer.js/tree/master/packages/%40glimmer/component) style APIs in Ember apps via existing public APIs. It supports most of the `@glimmer/component` API including lifecycle hooks (constructor, didInsertElement, didUpdate, destroy), @tracked properties, ES base class, and decorator support (with the release of 1.1.0, this supports consuming via TypeScript).
+
+To learn more, [@rwjblue](https://github.com/rwjblue) together with [@mike-north](https://github.com/mike-north) live streamed converting the library from JavaScript to TypeScript. You can watch the [live replay on Twitch](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/311556611).

+Community member [@NullVoxPopuli](https://github.com/NullVoxPopuli) has written a summary of a set of his favorite features that showcase how Ember is a modern framework, and can be attractive to people looking for all the shiny things. Check out [The EmberJS of the future... today!](https://dev.to/nullvoxpopuli/the-emberjs-of-the-future-today-12c) where he discusses async lifecycle hooks, syntax for components, testing, dependency injection, keyboard accessibility and more.

+## [Boston-Built ember-css-modules 1.0 AKA "The Big Dig" Is Here 🏗](https://twitter.com/__dfreeman/status/1042837440417988610)
+
+[salsify/ember-css-modules](https://github.com/salsify/ember-css-modules) has launched a 1.0 thanks to bug reports, feature ideas and pull requests from the community over the past couple years! ember-css-modules provides Ember-flavored support for [CSS Modules](https://github.com/css-modules/css-modules). With the addon, styling is a first-class citizen alongside templates and JavaScript, with one CSS file per component.
